The Dodgers are so bad we're running out of ways to write about their weak-ass shit. They've scored two runs in their past three games. Yet...tonight they might actually have a shot at scoring more than one run. Old friend Randy Wolf was rocked by the Padres in his last start, giving up five earned runs in 3.1 innings. Am I right, or am I just blowing smoke up Eeyore ass?

Sax's note: Gluttons, meet punishment. SoSG Alex Cora and I are back at it tonight, both on field level, third base side (in separate seating areas; after last night's french fry territory debacle, we opted to bring our respective spouses and sit with them instead. BECAUSE THEY SHARE, AC). At least we'll score some bobbleheads.

Sax, I responded to your email. Of course, the way this season is going my email probably went as far as a Loney popup and was lost in the opposing leather of the aether. Figures.

Anyway, I was thinking it was some form of finding a non-intersecting path to collect the coins while avoiding the pennies. The simplest zig-zag and spiral patterns didn't leave me with anything useful. Each path consumed 52 letters and 52 coins. If the Snake game is correct, 26 letters were left inside the snake and the other 26 were, uh, crapped out. There were then 11 extra letters never touched but nothing could be spelled from any of those sets.

I also thought there might be something to the the use of "One" in the puzzle title and was trying to find a path where the running total collected would hit each even dollar amount (so, if I was at $1.95, I'd need to hit a nickel next to get to an even $2.00).

I also found a hidden letter in the puzzle but I think it is just an artifact of the pdf creation process.

Now that guy that has been Googling the puzzles will come yell at me for posting here.

stop booing Dodgers players, people! if you're so good at baseball, why are you sitting on the stands and not on the field? if you don't like it enough and can't be supportive, it's cheaper to stay at home and bitch about it on any place of the Internet.
